Have you used “Duplicate Tab” feature of Chrome? If you right-click on a tab and select Duplicate, a new tab with the contents and history of the current tab is created. I use it in the following case:
- I am on Page A.
- I click on a link. Now I am in Page B.
- I have to do something that requires looking at both Pages A and B.
Now I can duplicate the current tab, which would give me two tabs with Page B. I can press Back in any of the two tabs to get back to Page A.
I stumbled upon an easier way to use this feature today. Instead of duplicating the tab first and then clicking Back on the new tab, I can Ctrl+click on the Back button to open a duplicate tab and go back in history one step. Works with Shift+click as well, but as you may expect it opens the duplicate tab in a new window.
